Collection Eye-shadow Pencil

This post was due about a month ago, but this product was put to the back of my mind, assuming that i reviewed it. Honestly, i am so dippy sometimes you wouldn't believe. This is the Collection Eye-shadow Pencil which is £3.19 from Boots.

Firstly, I love the whole concept of this idea. The whole quick, in a rush, whack it on and go. As the packaging goes, its simple but intriguing for sure. I chose the colour Hot Chocolate, a deep brown, perfect for the natural smoky eye. 

 The amount of product is appalling to be honest. The top is all you get, you can't roll it up any more, this was really disappointing as the product itself is good. 

This eye-shadow stick is very pigmented and has a lovely colour. Also it blends very easily for the perfect smoky eye, as i mentioned before, gosh i am totally obsessed with the smoky eye!

I might do a blog post showing you how i apply this, comment if you want me to!

 As you can see from the swatch below it is very pigmented, creamy and packed with colour!

Stila Eye-shadow 'GoLightly'

My most worn eye-shadow looks is a neutral eye-shadow, nothing too bold. This eye-shadow by Stila is a neutral brown with green undertones.  It is quite an investment at £12 but i had heard so much about Stila and am a sucker for beautiful things!

It applies really smoothly and you can easily blend it out. It lasts all day on my lids with literally no crease and it minimises the oiliness on my lids.

 I must say it does look rather green here, it magnificently shows its green undertones though. I usually go for way more deep browns but this is definitely a nice change!

The colour pay off is simply amazing and it looks slightly golden in the picture below which is strange but it must be my camera! 

Sleek Celestial Palette #5DaysToGo

There is actually only 5 days to go, cannot even believe it. Anyway this must be the season of new things as yesterday i reviewed a new brand to me and again today!

This is the Sleek Celestial Limited edition palette and it is very beautiful!

This is a beautiful palette, with a very good pay off! I would recommend using primer first, so there is no fall out.

It is so lovely and so Sleek (laugh, no? ok).

Sorry for a quick review, i have had quite a lot on today. Christmas rush is finally getting to me.

Stila Eyeshadow - Kitten

Yet another apology for my rubbish post schedule these 2 weeks, i have been so busy writing my series that i forgot about the present posts! My series comes out on 14.12.13!

This has to be one of the most beautiful eye-shadows I own! 

It is from Stila, a relatively new brand to me as it has not been a raved brand. However it is a rather big brand with a lot of products in it. When i bought this eye shadow i was 'hmming and arring' whether to get a palette or the single shadows. I opted for the single shadow's and they are beautiful. It is around £12.50 , if i remember correctly.

This is shade 'Kitten' which is such a gentle name for such a light, sweet shade.

It is a light pink with quite a hefty amount of shimmer in it.

The packaging is beautiful, very sleek and very sturdy.

The colour pay off is great too, it is utterly filled with pigment. The shimmer really give's it the edge to other neutral shades out there as it is so beautiful.

It lasts all day for me without creasing, no primer necessary.

In this review i feel like i have been drooling over this product way too much, although it is much needed and worth it.

MUA eye-shadow Pearl Shade 2

This little eye-shadow caught my eye when i read RasberryKiss's review on it and i was looking for something like this to pop in the corner of my eye. So i mean i had to get it, i had no choice!

I know i have had alot of MUA posts recently but i do have some other ones coming, promise.

This is from MUA and it is £1. Shade 2- Pearl. The packaging is quite good, a bit flimsy yet it did  not break when i dropped it (accidentally).

 It is a lovely shiny colour which does not fall out after a long day. It gives you an illusion of bright wide awake eyes!

As you can see here it is a lovely light colour which reflects the light.

Have you tried any of the MUA eye-shadows? Do you like them?

Rimmel Special eyes eyeliner - Black Magic

I think i will be forever in-love with my Soap&Glory SuperCat liquid eye-liner, but i cannot really use it on my water line or create that smudgy look which all of us long to perfect. So i opted for this Rimmel Special eyes eye-liner for £2.99 in Boots. So this wont make a big hole in your wallet.

The packaging is not fantastic but seems pretty durable, does it's job.

 I used this on my lid for testing purposes, i have so say it applied well and felt great to begin with. However by the end of the night it had smudged where my top lid meets the upper part of my eye (when i open my eyes), i hadn't even noticed until the end of the night!

I also used it on my water line, and that stayed on brilliantly! It was still there in place by the end of the night, and i have quite watery eyes therefore most eye-liners smudge off.

 From the swatch below you can see it is a deep black with a lot of pigmentation!

Overall i really like this product for my waterline only definitely not my lid.

Have you tried this product?

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara

It is nearly the end of September, how fast has that gone? We are very close to the below zero winter, time to wrap up warm (a coat post soon!).

I realised i have not written an mascara post in the last couple of weeks and this has been my favourite mascara for the past month.

This is retailed at £9.00 from Boots, so it is not the cheapest but isn't too expensive. I didn't realise until i bought it but it is in shade brown, which actually i like a lot!

 The brush is quite short and flexible, it is one size so the bristles are the same distance apart.

It doesn't form clumps, which i obviously a big plus for you mascara lovers and it makes my lashes huge. My eyelashes are quite long anyway, but this makes my eyelashes up to 3x longer.

As you can see below it doesn't look brown but it is a lovely lengthening mascara.

What is your favourite mascara at the moment?

Soap&Glory SuperCat Eyeliner Review!

Doesn't everyone want to find that perfect eyeliner? One that is easy to apply while making you look fabulous? Well i think i found it?!
So this post is about the Soap&Glory Super cat eye-liner!

This product is £6, some of you may argue it is a bit expensive but it is worth it!

First of all, it is like a marker pen so great for you first timers to liquid eye Liners!
Also it applies nice and easily and lasts all day, i did the 'full day' test today as i went cycling and all sorts of fun activities and it stayed on with a bit of 'wear and tear round the edges'.
Correct if i am wrong but i feel as if this eyeliner has not been talked about much with the beauty community, which i hope will change because it really is a fabulous product.
I have never really tried Soap&Glory as a make up brand, but do want to try a few more products of that line.
Over all i give this 5* out of 5!

MUA Eye shadow Palette- Heaven & Earth: First Impressions

I am definitely a neutral eye-shadow girl and do not really like bold colours, also do not like to spend a lot of money. So when i saw this eye-shadow palette from MUA that looks very similar to the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette i was ecstatic!

MUA (Make Up Academy) is only available in Superdrug and the MUA website,this eye-shadow was £4.

The pigment in the eye-shadows are 'ok' not fabulous but you can build if necessary, the darker colours are more pigmented and between the lighter colours there is not much difference. You have to remember thous there are 12 colours for £4 so it wouldn't be amazing.
Some of the darker shades have a nice glittery which is lovely and totally affordable for a budget.

 

Overall i give this a 4* out of 5, as it good and affordable!
